Preparing The Vehicle; Installing With Timer; Install Immediately; Functional Limitations - BMW iX Owner's Handbook Manual

▷ Hazard warning lights are turned off.
▷ Selector lever position P is engaged.
▷ Drive-ready state is turned off.
If applicable, follow the notes for further prerequi‐
sites on the control display.
If the prerequisites are not met, for example a
sufficient vehicle battery charge state, the up‐
grade will not be offered for installation.
Pay attention to an offer for installation, for exam‐
ple after extended driving.

Preparing the vehicle

▷ Park the vehicle safely away from the public
road.
▷ Cellular network reception must be ensured
so that a fault message can be sent to the ve‐
hicle manufacturer, for example if the installa‐
tion is terminated.
▷ Close the windows.
▷ Close the tailgate.
▷ Remove devices that consume energy, for
example mobile phone.
▷ The vehicle key must be located in the vehi‐
cle for the consent for installation.
▷ Switch off the exterior lights.
▷ Remove connected devices from the OBD
socket.

Install immediately

The upgrade can be installed immediately when
all prerequisites have been met.
1. "MENU"
2. "All apps"
3. "System settings"
4. "Remote Software Upgrade"
5. "Start upgrade now"

BMW Remote Software Upgrade
Online Edition for Part no. 01405A38CB9 - VI/21

Installing with timer

At the end of the journey, a timer can be used to
install the upgrade automatically at a configured
time, for example, during the night. A later instal‐
lation may make sense to meet functional re‐
quirements, for example, a sufficiently charged
vehicle battery.
1. "MENU"
2. "All apps"
3. "System settings"
4. "Remote Software Upgrade"
5. Enter the desired timer settings.
The installation starts automatically when:
▷ All prerequisites for the installation have been
established correctly.
▷ All prerequisites continue to be met at the
time of installation.
The timer is turned off when the drive-ready
state is turned on.

temporarily unavailable, for example:
▷ Hazard warning lights.
